Our first holiday poll of the year! Help me choose a movie to watch next! I'm already planning on watching Jingle All the Way. That reaction will be up tomorrow!

Violent night. Die hard but with Santa enough said

Brandon Gibbs

ALRIGHT!!! Trust me you're gonna laugh SO HARD at Jingle All The Way!😉🤣

WinkNudgeNudge

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is one of my favourite movies of all time. Absolutely hysterical. Super fast humour.

Alexander George

My recommendations: 1) Bad Santa 2) Trading Place 3) Miracle on 42nd St (1947)

Randee Carreno

Happy Tuesday, Addie! 😊 All great choices for this first holiday poll. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" got my vote for this one. With "Violent Night" coming in second. Looking forward to "Jingle All the Way" tomorrow. Have a great day today! 😊

Alex Tan

Happy Tuesday, Addie. All are good choices here but my votes belong to both 1947 & 1994 versions of Miracle on 34th Street, *UPDATE* Trading Places (1983), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and Violent Night (2022). See you tomorrow for Jingle All The Way (1996).

Byrd N. Hand

Not a fan of pitting the 2 versions of "Miracle on 34th Street" against each other... especially given that if the later version wins you'll then likely never watch the more widely-considered-a-classic original for the channel. 😔

Tina P

1) Trading Places - quite old but I still watch it every year. 2) Klaus - one of the very few recent movies that I added to my "Christmas movies I watch every year" list

Glenn Houtchens

Peanuts Christmas, please! "A Charlie Brown Christmas" I was a little sad this was not on the list.

Phil Stubblefield

Dissenting voice here: Bad Santa? Violent Night? Yeah, I'll be skipping those two...

She's seen it, according to her Letterboxd. Ditto the original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

Byrd N. Hand
>>157175514

It wasn't when I first posted this, but, yes, thankfully, saner minds are prevailing. Fingers remaining crossed... 🤞

PHILLIP CORNISH

Come on TP we can do this. 🤪😘

Byrd N. Hand

Me, too. Thankfully, my top 2 choices are leading so far. Let's hope it stays that way. 🤞🤞

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is not a Christmas movie. It’s a murder mystery that takes place around Christmas. That doesn’t make it a Christmas movie. I love the film, but not a Christmas movie. I still voted for it though. I just love that movie so much. The dialogue between RDJ and Val Kilmer is so sharp and witty and hilarious.

Byrd N. Hand
>>157175514

Unfortunately, lots of people around here are seemingly allergic to movies made before the '60s... 🙄 EDIT: "Bad Santa" not only having usurped the original "Miracle," but also now closing in on "Trading Places." WTF is wrong with you people?? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Doug

My picks are the original 1947 Miracle on 34th Street and Trading Places. The former feels like a must-see in terms of actual classic Christmas movies, and the second is Christmas-adjacent but such a fun film it’s worth seeing just for that. 😄

I now realized my interest in rooting for Trading Places (1983) after I started remembering about it being referenced in Scream (1996). #TradingPlacesForAddieCounts

Jasbro

I am so surprised that Violent Night has gotten so many votes and on a few other reactors polls as well, i could not even finish that movie which is rare for me, loved the premise of it but damn it was a bad movie, i obviously wont spoil it but scene about 25mins in was the moment i turned it off.

Pendragon1951

I swear people have no appreciation for the classics, trading places and bad santa, really??

Jasbro
>>157178097

Thats like saying Die Hard isnt a Christmas movie, which is blastphemy. A Christmas movie is anything that is set in/around the holidays regardless of the subject matter.

Byrd N. Hand
>>157181774

"Trading Places" is now 41 years old. I think it's earned its 'classic' status at this point. Everything else outside of the original "Miracle"? Not so much.

Billy Dancel

Completely different subject… Heyyy, it’s Add-E on the ReactorVerse Podcast!! (cue the applause sign) 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋 after watching that I have some questions for the next AMA ☺️

Pendragon1951
>>157181774

I guess I'm just old school when I think of Classic, to me classic is Hollywood's Golden age, 1930's to 1960's:)

Alex Vazquez

The most traditional movie on this list is "Miracle on 34th Street". The remake is charming as well. "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is an excellent neo-noir with a pre-"Iron Man" Robert Downey, Jr. but is a Christmas movie in the way that "Die Hard" is. "Trading Places" is a comedy classic. "Bad Santa" is as down-and-dirty as you can get. Filthy fun at its best!

Byrd N. Hand
>>157181774

Well, I believe people were already calling films like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Casablanca" 'classics' in the '80s, so... But, yes, unfortunately, the more time passes, the more older things are getting lost among newer generations. The fact that a youngster today is probably more likely going to go into adulthood far more familiar with something like "Moana" than "A Night at the Opera" is downright perturbing. 🤷‍♂️

Byrd N. Hand
>>157181597

The biggest problem with reacting to very recent movies is, who knows if anyone is still going to give a shit about them in 20 years' time?

Byrd N. Hand
>>157179942

*34th Street. I believe you're mixing its title with the musical "42nd Street." 🤔

Philip Davetas

KKBB for me. A friend of a friend wrote VIOLENT NIGHT. But LONG KISS GOODNIGHT should be on that list. Most of Shane Black's flcks are xXxmas movies. Most. He went Halloween recently.

Shawn Goforth
>>157181774

Completely agree. Pendragon. This poll should have been a runaway. I don't understand what I'm seeing here.

Alex Tan
>>157175514

I wouldn't consider most people to be "allergic" to pre-60s movies per se, but I guess many here have a more modernized taste in the movies they want Addie to watch. *EDIT* And also, we all have different tastes in the kinds of movies that we suggest to her.

Byrd N. Hand
>>157175514

It's really more these people's apparent lack of curiosity regarding anything made before they were born that's most perturbing to me... especially with older people calling much of today's movies and music 'shit,' you'd think one would then want to venture into the past to see what all the fuss was about... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Andre Agog

Wow that is a wildly diverse array of movies.

Alex Tan
>>157175514

Agreed. Even though I see a lot of newer movies in the theater, I also have a desire to discover movies that came out way before I was born.

Miracle on 34th Street (1994) is one of my all-time Christmas favorites! Don't dismiss it because it's a remake... the remake is a John Hughes movie! It was done right! You can love both movies. It doesn't have to be one or the other! Just watch it and see!!!
